XF 1.1New registration default group

Member

Is there a way to modify the default group for new registrations? The idea being that users would have to have x number of posts before being allowed to user certain features. We'd prefer to leave the default Registered group un-touched. Meaning, we'd prefer to promote users TO it rather than promoting users FROM it.

I was thinking the same way originally but there really isn't any harm to creating a second group and having your default Registered group be promoted from it. You could actually change the "Title" of the of the default Registered group to something else so you could call your new group Registered instead but it really doesn't affect much since nobody sees that title except for your staff members (by default your user titles come from the "Trophy User Titles" entries).

Thanks, this writeup outlines the step I was missing. I'm familiar with User Group Promotions in concept but wasn't sure how to set a new group to be default for new registrations in lieu of the "Registered" group that is default.
